This forest management plan was prepared as a long-range management tool for army operation of the Presidio of San Francisco. The plan was developed with the cooperation and assistance of the staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation area. A process of public review and comment on a draft plan was planned along with coordination of an enviornmental document before the plan was finalized and adopted. The process of developing and adopting the forest management plan was terminated at the draft plan stage because the Base Closure and Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526 at 102 STAT 2623) requires that the army installation at the Presidio of san Francisco close and that approximately 1,234 acres of the Presidio transfer to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The draft plan and supporting information are being provided to the National Park Service for use in planning for the Presidio as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Army is taking no further long-range action for forest management at the Presidio. Forest management is one of the resource categories that will be addressed in the National Park Service's planning efforts to develop a general management plan for the Presidio.
